Each Saturday at 2:00 pm, we open four different wines and talk about them- where they come from, who makes them, and what makes them special. A couple of light hors d’oeuvres accompany the tasting and those who attend are eligible for discounts on the wines. Reservations are required, and web and email reservations will not guarantee you a seat, to please make your reservation by calling (520) 326-9363
Hello, Feastlings. This week Kevin pulls out a handful of crisp, bright whites that have summertime written all over them. They mostly hail from Germany, though there’s one from Italy, right up against the Austrian border. They’re all crisp, bright and bursting with minerally goodness, and they all go remarkably well with spicy food, another […]
My Fellow Americans, This week, Kevin opens up four wines from America. You know: beautiful, spacious skies, amber waves of grain. It’s the weekend before Independence Day, so he’s selected four wines reflective of the American Experience. North American, specifically, and if you want to get technical, wines of the United States of America. The […]
The early birds have gotten the proverbial worm.
Hello, Feastlings. This week Kevin pulls corks on four Southern French wines- all great values for what they are, and all tasteable for only ten dollars this Saturday, June 18, at 2:00 pm. Make your reservation by phone or in person, because, as most of you know by now, phone or email reservations won’t hold […]
Hello, Feastlings. Every now and again, we find we’re quite fond of a distinctly Old World wine. And we discover that we’re equally enamored, if for a different reason, of a New World wine composed of essentially the same varietals. This week, Kevin compares two of our favorite Old World wines with their New World […]
Hello, Feastlings. I was just sitting with Kevin talking about this week’s wine tasting, and he was lamenting that people either damn Chardonnay with faint praise or outright ignore it these days. Trends are what they are, and Chardonnay isn’t the wine of the moment at this moment, but as it turns out, they can […]
Good day, Feastlings. While the first varietal to jump to mind when one suggests Italian white wine is invariably Pinot Grigio, we’re only too happy to remind you all that there’s a host of other delicious white varietals that hail from the Italian boot (and its surrounding islands.) This week, Kevin follows up his Forza […]
Good day, Feastlings. This week Kevin’s got some Italian wine for you, plus an Italian varietal that comes to us by way of Napa Valley (but that’s one of our favorites of all time.) By now, you probably know how this works, but for those of you new to the way of Feast’s Saturday wine […]
Good day, Feastlings. Let’s start by saying that this week we won’t be tasting local wines. As it happens, though, the varietals that grow best around here are those of the Mediterranean, so what better way to start familiarizing ourselves with the grapes that grow in our neighborhood than to taste a handful of wines […]
Hello, Feastlings. Hot on the heels of last week’s picnic red tasting comes another four wines for your picnic basket, this time white. Some drier, and some fruitier, there’ll be four food-friendly wines that beg for al fresco consumption. The tasting is the customary $10 plus tax and tip, and includes the customary nibbles. As […]
